NGENGAMA LAKHO LYRICS BY GIVEN MABENA JOYOUS CELEBRATION 19

Nkosi, bhek’ ibandla lakho,     (Lord look at your church)

Uyabona selomile;                       (see how thirsty she is)

Limathise ngomsa wakho;       (Pour water by your grace)

Konk’ okwethu kuphelile.        (All our own strength is gone)

Usizwise lawamandla                (make your power felt)

Abafundi bathenjiswa,               (that same power you promised your disciples)

Silifuze lelobandla                       (let us be like that church)

Elaqala, labusiswa.                       (the first church, which was blessed)

CHORUS: 

Thel' uMoya oyiNgcwele             (Pour out your Holy Spirit)

Phezu kwabantwana bakho!    (upon your children)

Vus' owakho umsebenzi,            (raise your work)

Libatshazw' igama lakho.          (let your Name be praised)

Ngegama lakho Jesu kuguqa phansi konke

Kutuwsa ubukhosi, nobungqongqoshe bakho

Alikh'elinye futhi elihle njengelakho

Kuyilo nje kuphela esingasinda ngalo

Liyisihlangu sethu esingavika ngaso

Nxa sihlaselwa yimpi kasatane elwa nathi
